vrusciante

I'm also left-handed, and I also learned to play right-handed because it's easier to find a guitar.

I do have some problems with the picking hand, it's really hard to switch the angle of the hand to perform upstrokes, sometimes I hit strings out of the range of the chord. it may be that I just suck at playing though.

I recently found out that fingerstyle feels much better to play.

from time to time I also have these ideas about trying to play it left-handed, but it never worked for me. it feels really awkward trying to form chord shapes with my right hand, my right hand is really stiff. I actually wonder how right-handed people do this with their left hands.

good luck with your endeavour

thanks

I aways add bass when I can, but I'm not a bass player so it depends of the gpro tab I'm using having accurate and synced bass tab.

I got a lot of requests for 'before the beginning' so I'll probably try to do that when I have more time.

@@NakedBryan

yes, I found a lot of tabs for it, I'll add it in the next pack of songs.

@@vrusciante, can we get more info? I'd like to know what's wrong with it :)

well, comparing the broken arrangement with the new one, the only visible difference is that the broken one have some misplaced bend tech notes that were imported from the gpro

here's the broken xml and a ddc log:

@@Alex360 Removing those particular ones did not solve it. However, deleting all the tech notes did fix the crash. Now I'll just have to figure out what exactly is making it crash.

@@vinegarv guitar file sounds just fine over here. I just transcoded it from flac to ogg on foobar's highest settings. EoF didn't do anything else to it.

that's interesting.

I just had this problem with a custom(crashing to desktop). Isolating the files I found out the lead arrangement .XML was the problem, then I went back to EOF and did everything I could, I even got to the point of deleting all of the notes and sections and it would still crash.

as a last resort I copied the notes and imported another .gpro, then deleted the new notes and pasted the old ones. That solved the problem.

I read in another topic that EOF don't copy tech notes when you copy the normal notes, so that was probably it.

could you make the killers shadowplay?

I just put it on the list, have fun

the collection is growing so I decided to make this as a mean to keep it all organized in one place.

this is all my CDLC organized by band name/album:

I actually did something like this with one of my customs -- although I'd put my name at the end of the vocal file, not the beginning. But I eventually got rid of the name.

 

Why? Two reasons.

 

For one, I felt like a dog pissing on someone else's tree.

 

And in the end, it just doesn't matter who charts what. In a few years' time, CDLCs will be like any other tab or GuitarPro file out there. Sure, there are names, and even email addresses on many of those. But when was the last time you bothered to look at those?

 

I understand @@vrusciante and his concern, since he's going to be working with other people's  RS1 customs and he's trying to give credit where it's due. I think a simple mention of the original charter's name in the database is sufficient.

yes but that's the point. most people would probably ignore it, it's more of an "internal control" thing for we to know who did what.

as for "go ahead and post it", I can't really do that because a lot of people that did this CDLCs are still here and want to upgrade them, so that would be really impolite of me, the hard thing is that there is no way to pinpoint the ones that really left.

(thinking about it now, an idea could be something encoded in the psarc that can be decoded by the toolkit, but I don't know how hard something like this would be to code).

as for piracy, I think people are being overcautious, it's fine that people worry about their privacy because the mafiaa and blablabla, but Rocksmith is a learning tool(marketed as "the fastest way to learn guitar"), you can't even listen to any song in it if you don't have a guitar plugged.

any lawyer would have a hard time trying to dismiss the fair use aspect of customs.

it was the solo from californication

listening to me wasn't enough, I had to play it. so I bought a guitar

bob64, creating customs is not an infringement of copyright laws.

sharing may be, although the "educational purposes" argument is pretty convincing, since, well, it is for educational purposes.

however that is the very reason why an internet database is fragile, and that's why I think a decentralized database could be convenient, IF we want to keep this model of ethics about preserving "moral ownership" to customs, otherwise it's impractical.

everytime something happens half the charters would disappear and we wouldn't be able to continue to support half of the customs db, meaning it's lost forever.

(my point is that if you don't want to leave a legacy to the customs you make then you should give up any kind of development ownership(authorship) of it, what would be expressed by it not being credited)

you do have a point though about drawing too much attention to customsforge.com , that might not be a good idea.

Guys, I recently learned how to make customs, my idea was to make the most RHCP customs possible, but then I stumbled into this: a lot of famous songs have RS2012 versions, however, since the old database is gone, I have no idea who made them, therefore I can't contact this people about making RS2014 versions of this songs.

so I tried to search on the forum for a list of the RS2012 customs or something, this thread showed up:

http://customsforge.com/topic/2350-rescuing-customs/

in it, the user "Xstatic" posted this great idea:

"It wont change anything but if people really were worried about credit they could just add a extra second of leading silence and in that second do a vocal file with their name so it flashes their forum name at the start of their work. "

so here is an idea of standart:

CustomDLC V1.0 by "USERNAME" from customsforge.com

contact: "E-MAIL ADRESS OR WHATEVER YOU PREFER"

I think adopting this standart can solve the following current issues

1. About credits issues

when we post customs on the database, it's pretty much given that some people will take it and share on other forums, blogs, or torrent websites. my first contact with customs was through torrents, it actually took me some time to find the source.

this happens now because the credits to a custom is only bound to the customsforge's database, when its taken out of the database, this information is lost. adopting this new standart will not only give authors credit for the custom regardless where it was downloaded, but it also ensures that the person who download it will know that the source is customsforge.com 

also, re-uploads to new databases (like the idea of the topic "rescuing customs") would mantain credits

2. About contacting issues

because of the past events, it would be good to be prepared for the eventuality of Ubisoft releasing a new version of rocksmith and the eventuality of customsforge's database vanishing.

with this standart, even if both happen, in the future another person that wants to make a custom that was already made before(or is looking for tips on custom making, or wants to re-upload) can easily contact the author of the older custom.

3.Archive names

since the version of the CDLC will be in the credits, versions on the .psarc filename could be avoided

That will also bring more people to the community interested in making customs, since more people will know about the forum.

Another thing is that, unlike editing the name of the custom's .psarc, this is totally harmless and won't affect neither sorting nor gameplay, leading silence is already a standart and the credit could be easily ignored by a player who don't care so it won't change anything.

what do you guys think?
